I'm going to pick up my new (to me) power hammer!

Hopefully I'll have opportunity to take some photos of the moving process....
 
Sweetness! I've got a bunch of photos of a 50 pounder that's in perfect working order, as well as the manual for that ol' girl, if you need them Phillip... Also, if you need to loosen the enormous nuts on the studs to adjust it anywhere, give me a shout - I've got 2-1/2" and 2-9/16" slugging wrenches that make immediate work of freeing and tightening them, and I'd be more than happy to loan them to ya!
 
Nice score Phillip! I've never run a Bradley, but from all accounts you're going to love it!

Well, it's home now. Still on the trailer though. In the morning we'll winch it off the trailer onto my shop floor.

Here's a picture of the nice coal forge the guy has and never used:

That is some heavy piece of steel!! Looks good.
 
Congratulations! Great score Philip.

Looking forward to seeing it in operation, Fred
 
Just finished unloading it about an hour and a half ago. That was an adventure! We didn't have a tractor or crane to lift it off the trailer, so we backed the trailer up to the big door of the shop, jacked up the front end, and winched it off the trailer onto my stash of 1-1/4" W2. :D

Everything went pretty well, except that the jerks who built the trailer put a hasp and chain right in the middle at the end of the trailer, and the hammer kept getting hung up on it. :mad: But, it's now sitting level on my floor, and no one got hurt, PTL.

Nice score Philip. Was the Antique grinder a gift:thumbup:

Yes, the grinder and line shaft were thrown in with the hammer. The two post vises were $400, but came with a nice, very heavy stand.
 
looks like a nice score! The stand is pretty serious and nicely painted. Keep posting these awesome pictures!

Awesome score on the bradley:thumbup:

Did you manage to get the specs on the pad you need for that to sit on?

I tracked down a bunch of info when was ready to have the pad poured for my #150
